๐ŸŽ† Fireworks Season is around the corner! Hereโ€™s how to start helping your dog NOW! ๐Ÿพ

Fireworks can be stressful for many dogs, but with some preparation, you can make the experience easier for your canine friend! ๐Ÿถโœจ

Here are some tips on how to start now!

Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area where your dog can retreat to feel secure. This could be a crate with blanket covering it, bed in a nice quiet corner or a homemade den. Prepare now, so your dog gets used to their safe space.

Desensitize to Sounds: Gradually introduce firework sounds at a low volume while rewarding calm behavior. Start NOW!!!

Use Calming Aids: Try introducing natural calming products before the day for anxious dogs. Thunder Jackets or anxiety wraps can also help some dogs.

Start preparing now, and youโ€™ll be helping your dog feel more at ease when those loud bangs start. ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽ‡

My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the โ€œcravatโ€ unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody โ€“ why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help โ€“ all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Countryโ€™s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. Heโ€™s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges ยฃ875 per session ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ง

Now Iโ€™m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if Iโ€™m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldnโ€™t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques heโ€™ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training youโ€™ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

๐Ÿ“–Here is a very simple overview of one way a dog will learn.

๐ŸถDogs are learning new associations all of the time from the environment around them. This means you always need to be aware of what they may be learning and associating, especially with anything new.

๐Ÿ‘‰Does a car journey mean a visit to the vets? a walk mean time to run around the field with other dogs, or a bag being packed mean they are being left alone?

Today marks the 4th anniversary of my dog training business, and I couldn't be more excited! Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with so many wonderful dogs and their dedicated owners. Together, we've achieved incredible milestones, all through positive training methods.
